The Circulatory System
The Heart, Blood Vessels, Blood Types
The Closed Circulatory System
•Humans have a closed circulatory system,
typical of all vertebrates, in which blood is
confined to vessels and is distinct from the
interstitial fluid.
–The heart pumps blood into large vessels
that branch into smaller ones leading into the
organs.
–Materials are exchanged by diffusion between
the blood and the interstitial fluid bathing the
cells.
The Cardiovascular System
•Three Major Elements –
Heart, Blood Vessels, &
Blood
–1. The Heart- cardiac
muscle tissue
–highly interconnected
cells
–four chambers
•Right atrium
•Right ventricle
•Left atrium
•Left ventricle
Pathway of the blood
•Superior Vena Cava
•Right Atrium
•Tricuspid Valve
•Right Ventricle
•Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
•Lungs
•Pulmonary Vein
•Bicuspid Valve
•Left Ventricle
•Aortic Semilunar Valve
•Aorta
•To the bodies organs & cells
Blood Flow Through Heart
Circuits
•Pulmonary circuit
–The blood pathway
between the right side
of the heart, to the
lungs, and back to the
left side of the heart.
•Systemic circuit
–The pathway between
the left and right sides
of the heart.
The Cardiovascular System
2. Blood Vessels -A network of tubes
–Arteriesarterioles move away from the heart
•Elastic Fibers
•Circular Smooth Muscle
–Capillaries – where gas exchange takes place.
•One cell thick
•Serves the Respiratory System
–VeinsVenules moves towards the heart
•Skeletal Muscles contract to force blood back
from legs
•One way values
•When they break - varicose veins form
The Cardiovascular System
3. The Blood
A. Plasma
Liquid portion of the blood.
Contains clotting factors,
hormones, antibodies,
dissolved gases, nutrients
and waste
The Cardiovascular System
•The Blood
B. Erythrocytes - Red
Blood Cells
–Carry hemoglobin and
oxygen. Do not have a
nucleus and live only
about 120 days.
–Can not repair
themselves.
The Cardiovascular System
•The Blood
C. Leukocytes – White
Blood cells
–Fight infection and are
formed in the bone marrow
–Five types – neutrophils,
lymphocytes, eosinophils,
basophils, and monocytes.
The Cardiovascular System
The Blood
•D. Thrombocytes –
Platelets.
–These are cell fragment
that are formed in the
bone marrow from
magakaryocytes.
–Clot Blood by sticking
together – via protein
fibers called fibrin.
Functions of the Heart
• Generating blood pressure
• Routing blood
– Heart separates pulmonary and systemic
circulations
• Ensuring one-way blood flow
– Heart valves ensure one-way flow
• Regulating blood supply
– Changes in contraction rate and force match
blood delivery to changing metabolic needs
Size, Shape, Location
of the Heart
•Size of a closed fist
•Shape
–Apex: Blunt rounded
point of cone
–Base: Flat part at
opposite of end of
cone
•Located in thoracic
cavity in
mediastinum
Heart Wall
• Three layers of tissue
– Epicardium: This serous membrane of
smooth outer surface of heart
– Myocardium: Middle layer composed
of cardiac muscle cell and
responsibility for heart contracting
– Endocardium: Smooth inner surface
of heart chambers
Heart Wall
External Anatomy
•Four chambers
–2 atria
–2 ventricles
•Auricles
•Major veins
–Superior vena
cava
–Pulmonary veins
•Major arteries
–Aorta
–Pulmonary trunk
Heart Valves
•Atrioventricular
–Tricuspid
–Bicuspid or mitral
•Semilunar
–Aortic
–Pulmonary
•Prevent blood from
flowing back
Cardiac Cycle

•
Heart is two pumps that work together, right and left half
Repetitive contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) of heart
chambers
Systolic - The top number, which is also the higher of the two
numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats
(when the heart muscle contracts).
Diastolic - The bottom number, which is also the lower of the two
numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats
(when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with
blood).
Blood moves through circulatory system from areas of higher to lower
pressure.
– Contraction of heart produces the pressure
Heart Homeostasis
• Effect of blood pressure
– If you have high blood pressure you can eat
healthier, exercise more, decrease your intake of
sodium, cutback your caffeine intake, and reduce
your stress level.
– If you have low blood pressure you can avoid heavy
lifting, drink a lot of fluids, exercise, increase your
sodium intake
• Effect of body temperature
– Heart rate increases when body temperature
increases, heart rate decreases when body
temperature decreases
Disorders of the Circulatory System
•
Anemia - lack of iron in the blood, low RBC count
•
Leukemia - white blood cells proliferate wildly, causing anemia
•
Hemophilia - bleeder’s disease, due to lack of fibrinogen in
thrombocytes
•
Heart Murmur - abnormal heart beat, caused by valve problems
•
Heart attack - blood vessels around the heart become blocked with
plaque, also called myocardial infarction
